Talk:Barakovo

On the massacre
The so-called massacre had its number up to 20, there are many sources but Srpska Mreza explains this properly, it was Albanian-US propaganda which rose the number to 60, and the names dont exist. Jordovan 16:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Joschka Fischer in his address to the press office a week later confirmed that over 60 were confirmed killed by Serbian forces. DW reported it. And Mr. Jordovan. I come from Barakovo and lost family, and I know how much it was, so do everyone a favour and stick to what you know. There is proof in BBC and proof in ITCY. Barbaric 16:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They are hardly reliable sources, they supported the Albanian campaign right the way through. Srpska Mreza clearly confirms that it was 20 and so do other reports from outside Serbia. I will connect you to them. Jordovan 16:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The current Attribution policy clearly states that "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reliable published source, not whether it is true." - It then goes on to say that "any unsourced material may be removed".

Based on that, I removed unsourced contentious text about "horrific massacres" and "surviving onslaughts". - Please, re-insert it only when you're able to both attribute that material to a reliable source and cite that source as a reference.

Just for the record: I didn't remove the text because I disagree with the content (on which I have no knowledge whatsoever), but merely because its unsourced status infringed the current policy on attribution.

If you have any question in regard to the attribution policy or citing sources, I will be happy to help and lend you a hand. - Best regards, Ev 17:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I too cannot find place with this name in Serbia, but there are several places with this name in other countries: http://fallingrain.com/world/a/B/a/r/a/k/o/ So, instead of deleting article, it could be just transformed into disambiguation page that mention all these places.

 * Well, it is even possible that this place exist in Serbia too, but that it is just a hamlet, not official settlement, and therefore, it cannot be found in available sources. PANONIAN   (talk)  15:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
